“Pearl Fine Sand” is a fine-grained, paste-like modeling plaster engineered for sophisticated designer finishes that combine tactile delicacy with a soft, even shimmer. Based on the proven formulation of the classic “Fine Sand” plaster, it is uniquely enhanced with uniformly dispersed pearlescent particles—not glitter, but high-quality mica-based effect pigments—that catch and diffuse light with elegance and restraint.
Perfect for those who seek emotional depth and luminous nuance without visual noise, this material creates surfaces that gently glow, adapting to changing light throughout the day.
Key Features
- Discreet, refined pearlescent effect—visible on both smooth and textured applications
- Application thickness range: 0.2 mm up to 3 mm, enabling everything from sheer veils to soft relief
- Excellent shape retention—no shrinkage or cracking, fully moldable during application
- Supplied in a white base—easily tinted with Kraski Breez pigments to create custom pastels or deep tones while preserving luminosity
- Water-thinnable (up to 5–10%) for improved flow on large surfaces
- Requires protective topcoat (e.g., Hydrophobizing Varnish WD-AC-610) to lock in the pearlescent effect and enhance durability
Performance Characteristics
- Wear-resistant after topcoating
- Eco-friendly and safe for homes, hotels, clinics, and public spaces
- Vapour-permeable—maintains healthy “breathing” walls
- Odour-neutral—does not absorb smells
- Moisture-resistant—suitable for damp wiping after full curing
Applications
- Accent walls, niches, and soft-feature zones in residential and commercial interiors
- Decorative panels, columns, and 3D architectural details
- Design styles: Neo-classic, Art Deco, Scandinavian, Modern, Japandi—where light play, tactility, and quiet luxury matter
- Combinable with other Kraski Breez finishes (e.g., “Satin,” “Art Metal,” microcements) for multi-sensory compositions
Substrate Requirements
Apply to properly prepared mineral surfaces:
- Concrete | Concrete blocks | Brickwork
- Cement render & plasters
- Gypsum | Gypsum board | Gypsum panels
Surface must be:
- Uniform
- Smooth and leveled
- Dry
- Clean and dust-free
Preparation:
- Remove loose or weak layers
- Fill cracks with plaster or spackling
- Sand with fine-grit paper (P180–P220)
- Dust thoroughly
Required surface quality: Category Q3 (DIN 18364)—a smoother finish than standard structural plasters, essential to fully reveal the subtle pearlescent effect.
Recommended Application System & Consumption
- Universal Deep-Penetration Primer – WD-AC-007
- Purpose: Consolidation & adhesion
- Coverage: 0.1–0.2 kg/m²
- Layers: 1
- Quartz Adhesion Primer – WD-AC-558
- Purpose: Uniform micro-rough bonding layer
- Coverage: 0.15–0.3 kg/m²
- “Pearl Fine Sand” Decorative Plaster – WD-AC-563
- Coverage: 0.8–1.5 kg/m²
Depending on:- Layer thickness (0.2–3 mm)
- Texture intensity
- Tooling method (trowel, spatula, modeling knife)
- Optional: Thin with clean water (5–10%) for large-area flow
- Finish: Must be sealed with a clear protective varnish (e.g., WD-AC-610) after drying
- Coverage: 0.8–1.5 kg/m²
Maintenance
After full curing (48–72 hours):
- Clean with damp cloth and pH-neutral household cleaners
Avoid:
- Acidic or alkaline cleaners
- Abrasive sponges or powders
- Solvents
These may scratch the surface, matte the pearlescent layer, or dislodge effect particles.
Shelf Life 12 months from production date when stored in original, sealed packaging at +5°C to +25°C in dry conditions.
Design Philosophy
“Pearl Fine Sand” WD-AC-563 is not just a finish—it’s a light-responsive canvas. It transforms walls into living surfaces that shift with daylight and artificial lighting, offering calm radiance, tactile warmth, and timeless elegance.
Ideal for architects and designers who believe that true luxury lies in subtlety.
